Relationships & talking
How do i say no to my friends?
Short reasons and warm delivery work best. 'I can't today, I'm seeing my mum' needs no justification. You do not have to explain, debate, or justify, and practice saying it early and lightly makes it easier when the stakes feel higher.
What this does and does not tell you
This is general information, not a diagnosis. Only a clinician can examine you, take your history and run tests. The same symptom has different causes in different people.
If something is sudden, severe, or getting worse quickly, get medical advice rather than reading on.
